What is biodiversity? A. A term describing the organic/whole food movement (926813) B. Workforce diversification (926814) C. Agricultural plans to shift from monoculture crops (926815) D. The totality of life on Earth (926816) NOTE: Text keyword to 22333

Biodiversity: The totality of life on Earth

Global Biodiversity Map showing distribution of some of the most highly valued terrestrial biodiversity worldwide (mammals, reptiles, amphibians, seed plants) for equal area grid cells with red for high and blue for low biodiversity

2009 Need for enhanced study of Biodiversity

How many major mass extinction events has Earth’s biota already suffered? A. 1 (981447) B. 5 (981448) C. 12 (981449) D. 26 (981450) NOTE: Text keyword to 22333

Which of the following probably does NOT represent a major threat to biodiversity? A. Climate change (927116) B. Invasive species (927117) C. Capital campaigns (927118) D. Habitat degradation (927119) NOTE: Text keyword to 22333

Biodiversity Crisis & Societal Problems  Climate change  Loss of biodiversity  Emerging pathogens  Invasive species  Threats to food security  Environmentally induced health issues Solving these biodiversity-centered problems requires concentrated attention from diverse perspectives

Biodiversity Initiative: Why UF? Florida is a biologically hyper-diverse region World-class natural history museum Comprehensive, diverse campus expertise in environmental & conservation science

: Biodiversity concept developed / Great Recession impact Conceptual discussions with top prospects. UF cuts budgets in response to recession

: International Year of Biodiversity

: Conceptual discussions with top prospects. Begin discussion with Provost to evaluate timing and interest. Meeting with Provost and SVP Research to evaluate interest

: Biodiversity Visioning Session. Meeting with UF & college/unit leadership. Meeting with faculty/researchers interested in biodiversity. Data collection to analyze interest across campus. Plan submitted to UF leadership for review.

Biodiversity Collections The Library of Life Florida Museum of Natural History  40 Million Specimens 2 nd Largest University Museum Collection in U.S.

National center for digitization of biodiversity collections Collaboration among FLMNH, Engineering, & FSU: ~$12M Coordinate digitization and databasing of US collections Ingest, serve, integrate data: Localities Dates Images

134 institutions in 49 states Ten TCNS and collaborating institutions: 152 institutions in 50 states HUB

UF Partners

New Opportunities  New collaborations to address biodiversity grand challenges related to:  Human health, agriculture, species discovery and extinction, ecosystem services, etc.  Big Data:  Build on recent programs, iDigBio  Link to Informatics Institute, Preeminence hires  Established record of federal funding  Private/corporate/foundation support
